Amicalola Falls Survival Weekend

I forgot to post about our trip to Amicalola Falls for their Survival Weekend where we learned about orienteering, natural cordage making, outdoor emergency planning,  shelter building, and FIRE STARTING.  It was a terrific weekend of family fun... right up our alley.  Here are some pics:

This is a cool shelter made out of a little duct tape and a couple trash bags:

And the inside view:

This is like a beaver damn shelter.  It's made to catch anything else that might fall on it, strengthening it over time.

And inside view:

FIRE STARTING:  

And orienteering.  

Sorry no pics of me.  If you want to see me you just have to imagine what all the eyes in the pictures are looking at and there I am in their reflection.
